‘Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill’ Is Crunchyroll’s Most-Watched Anime of the Week

From cozy fantasy cooking to world-ending curses, this week’s watchlist on Crunchyroll spans laid-back isekai, monster-hunting epics, and long-running shonen heavyweights. Below, count down from 10 to 1—same order you gave me—each with a quick primer on studio, premise, and where things stand right now so you can jump in without missing a beat.

10. ‘The Dark History of the Reincarnated Villainess’ (2025– )

Konoha Satou is reborn as Iana Magnolia—the villainess of the chuunibyou novel she wrote as a teen—and must navigate the chaos caused by her edgy adolescent “canon.” The TV anime premieres in October 2025 and streams on Crunchyroll. Expect a blend of isekai hijinks, romantic intrigue, and meta-gags as Iana scrambles to undo her own over-the-top plotlines. It’s a fall debut with weekly episodes joining the slate.

9. ‘Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End’ (2023– )

Long after her party defeats the Demon King, the elf mage Frieren sets out to truly understand the fleeting lives of humans—and her own regrets—on a quiet journey north. Season 1 (28 episodes) ran from September 2023 to March 2024, with Crunchyroll streaming it outside East Asia. Season 2 is officially slated to premiere on January 16, 2026, continuing the “Continued Northern Travels” arc. Catch-up is simple right now, and the new season’s weekly rollout is already on the calendar.

8. ‘Kaiju No. 8’ (2024– )

Kafka Hibino gains the power to transform into a kaiju and joins the Defense Force to battle the very monsters he once cleaned up after. The first season aired April–June 2024, produced by Production I.G with Studio Khara overseeing designs; Crunchyroll streamed both sub and dub shortly after each Japanese broadcast. The series is slated for Blu-ray release in December 2025, and further seasons are widely anticipated. Its mix of workplace camaraderie and city-crushing action made it an easy weekly watch.

7. ‘Solo Leveling’ (2024– )

Based on the hit Korean web novel and webtoon, the anime follows hunter Sung Jinwoo as he evolves from the weakest to a singularly overpowered force through a mysterious “system.” A-1 Pictures produced Season 1 (Jan–Mar 2024) and Season 2, ‘Arise from the Shadow’ (Jan–Mar 2025), both streaming on Crunchyroll. The series became a major awards winner in 2025 and continues to expand with additional media projects. It’s one of the most briskly paced modern action series on the platform.

6. ‘Jujutsu Kaisen’ (2020– )

This dark fantasy tracks Yuji Itadori as he joins the Jujutsu Sorcerers after ingesting a cursed object linked to Ryomen Sukuna. MAPPA animated the 2020 first season and 2023 second season, with a third season—covering the “Culling Game” arc—set for January 2026 on Crunchyroll. The franchise also includes the prequel film ‘Jujutsu Kaisen 0,’ which slots neatly into the timeline before Season 1. Expect new season details and trailers to ramp up as winter approaches.

5. ‘My Hero Academia’ (2016– )

Set in a world where most people have superpowers called Quirks, the series follows Izuku Midoriya as he trains at U.A. High to become a professional hero. The anime began airing in 2016 and has progressed through multiple seasons, with the eighth and final season premiering in October 2025 on Crunchyroll. Over the years it has spanned major arcs, movies, and a rotating set of theme songs across its long run. If you’re catching up, Crunchyroll’s catalog groups seasons and specials for easy marathoning.

4. ‘My Status as an Assassin Obviously Exceeds the Hero’s’ (2025– )

Transported to a fantasy realm, the protagonist discovers his “Assassin” class far outpaces the summoned “Hero,” turning court politics and monster hunts on their head. The TV adaptation premiered October 2025, produced by TMS Entertainment with animation by Sunrise (Bandai Namco Filmworks), and streams on Crunchyroll. Notable staff include director Nobuyoshi Habara and composer Satoshi Igarashi, with the ending theme by Bonnie Pink. New episodes are rolling out this fall across TV Tokyo affiliates and online.

3. ‘A Gatherer’s Adventure in Isekai’ (2025– )

Adapted from the AlphaPolis manga, this show centers on a gentle “gatherer” whose foraging and crafting skills—rather than swordplay—carry him through another world. The TV anime launched October 7, 2025, animated by Tatsunoko Production and SynergySP, with Crunchyroll streaming the simulcast. The opener is performed by Nornis, with additional licensing across parts of Asia via Muse Communication. It’s a practical, resource-focused spin on isekai that leans into item collection and survival know-how.

2. ‘Gachiakuta’ (2025– )

Set in a stratified world where the “Lower District” is treated like trash, this adaptation of Kei Urana’s manga follows Rudo as he’s hurled into a wasteland and harnesses sentient “Gadget” weapons to climb back up. The TV anime premiered July 2025, produced by Bones Film with series composition by Hiroshi Seko and music by Taku Iwasaki. It’s slated to air two consecutive cours, with Crunchyroll streaming the series as it broadcasts. Expect a steady drip of new episodes through the fall season.

1. ‘Campfire Cooking in Another World with my Absurd Skill’ (2023– )

This fantasy series follows salaryman Mukouda, whose online-grocery skill ‘Net Super’ lets him summon ingredients and whip up meals that attract legendary familiars—most famously the gluttonous wolf Fel. Season 1 aired in 2023 with MAPPA handling animation, and Crunchyroll streamed it worldwide outside Asia. A second season premiered in October 2025 and continues the food-driven adventures across new regions. If you like monster parts turning into recipes—and recipes turning into power-ups—this one stays reliably charming on weeknights.
